We live in an age of multi-tasking and “one stop shops” so it is, perhaps, perfectly reasonable for any Chicago motorist to object to having to go to different places whenever he needs attention to his car’s wheels, engine, transmission or any other aspect of keeping his vehicle running and in road worthy condition. It is a motor car; so, why can’t one place fix anything that might happen to be wrong with it?
Actually, more and more of the people involved with the motor trade are recognizing this need and are turning their backs on the specialization trend. After all, in the early days of motoring; it was often the town blacksmith who fixed anything and everything that went wrong with the early “horseless carriages”.
Different Equipment For Different Jobs
This still holds true; but, there is also quite a bit of overlap. For example, to take off a wheel; the vehicle needs to be raised up off the ground; this can be achieved with quite a simple jack; or, it can be done by a large hoist that raises the whole vehicle (with all its wheels off the ground). For much work on the underside of a car – such as transmission maintenance – the hoist is virtually essential if the job is to be completed quickly and efficiently. Nevertheless; that same hoist could be used for both jobs.
Some equipment like engine diagnostic computers will be specific to one job and usually to one make of car; but there are many items in a totally generalized auto shop that can be used for multiple jobs. Therefore, the owner’s equipment investment need not be exorbitant.
Different Expertise For Different Jobs
There are some aspects of motor mechanics that are highly specialized and can only be carried out by specially trained experts. However, it is not very difficult for a person who knows how to change tires and fix punctures to also manage other jobs – such as oil and filter changes. From the owner’s viewpoint, this has the advantage of less employee time spent on waiting around for their particular type of job to come into the shop.
One Stop Auto Servicing And Repair
This type of service is not restricted to remote “one horse” towns; it has become a regular feature of bigger cities like Chicago where the inhabitants often do not have the time and energy to book their car into several different places within a short time frame. For such people; being able to book in for a regular service from someone like VIP Tire and know that this single place can fix any tire problems and carry out any Auto Repair at Midway that the routine service might uncover is a time saving blessing.
